    Tips to improve my bucket

    Hello everyone,

    I have had a bucket up for a couple months now and just wanted to get some tips on how I can improve it. Have a look and let me know.

    Was thinking about these things, as well as others to improve on it.

    Should I make a high end album?(only thing is it would be a mix of auto/gu/patches)my other albums are all marked with specific items such as autographs, Rookies,

    Should I scan all my rookies individually? I have done this with the auto's and game used but still wondering about the rookies album.

    Have a look like I said if you dont mind and any reply good or bad is great with me looking for some tips!

    I have a couple suggestions. First, I like the choice of folders you have made. I would suggest that you "tag" all your traders by team. This makes it much faster for a team collector to search your bucket. Second, I would edit the picture titles to start with last names followed by year and set name. I would then sort them by title name. Other than that, it looks good. Feel free to take a look at mine.

    I should add: a rookie folder would be nice but do not do group scans. They can be tedious to look at.

    While in an album you go into "organize" near the top and above all the images there will be a "sort current album by", open the drop down menu and choose "alpha by title".

    You could split up jerseys and patches. I know personally I would look at a patches folder before looking at a jerseys folder. Also a high end folder is a must I think, lots of people look for high end before anything else. Also individual pics I prefer over group shots, unless it is base or low end inserts.

    Why do people use photobucket? Its very tedious to look through. I love looking at sale/trade posts that have the images in the post but I won't bother with one that say look in my bucket.
    If I ever stop being lazy I'd either do a blog or a web page. With a blog you could tag each post to help sort. I haven't spent much time with the SCF inventory.
